Never underestimate what people can get confused about. People will also still buy veggie burgers expecting them to have meat, after they would be relabeled eventually.

It worked for oat milk. I’m buying “no milk” all the time 😅

True, you can technically compute anything in CSS with enough hacks—but if your boss asks you to implement a sorting algorithm in CSS, it’s probably time to question their sanity. So I acknowledge the “well akchually”, but still stand by my previous point😅

You could make that argument for interpreted languages, I guess. But still I would say there is a difference between those languages and HTML. HTML just describes the layout of a website and CSS describes how this layout should be presented exactly. What I consider a programming language (and output a “computer program”) can do stuff like perform calculations, follow some control flow (e.g. conditions, loops, etc) and can handle user input/create output dynamically.

Anyway, I’m just here to argue against people making my ad blocker illegal 🥴

Maybe it doesn’t matter legally speaking, but as a software engineer I would object when someone says HTML/CSS is a computer program. It just is some specially formatted text that is interpreted by browsers (which are the actual programs here).

Agreed, as long as we are not actually buying almost a trillion worth of stuff from the US🥴

Putting counter tariffs up is maybe nice for the optics of a strong Europe, but I’m fine if we don’t do it. Let them tax themselves🤷‍♂️

Just don’t buy billions worth of fossil fuels from the US please!

To be fair I would have been fine with one-sided tariffs from the US. After all Americans are paying them. Yeah, export to the US would decline, but at least there is still the rest of the world and it’s a problem for businesses, less so for individual consumers.

I’m not fine with promising to buy trillions worth of stuff from the US though. This just makes us more dependent on them again in a time where we should get less dependent!
